THE people of Saxonburg, THE
county, may experience the fate OF
the frogs in the fable. The frogs Pc
titioned for a King, and when one
was sent them, in the person OF o
stork, that monarch set about to eat
them up. The people of the village
of Saxonburg petitioned the Court to
grant them licenses for three hotels,
and the Court took them at their
word and granted them. Now the
fear is that they may be eaten up and
consumed, as were the discohtented
frogs who wished for new rulers. But

Where He Kicked Him.

In La Crosse, years ago, a man was
shot in a row and the ball entered the
lower part of the mans back, consider
ably below where his suspenders were
buttoned on. As reporter / went to
the doctor who attended the man, to
get particulars. and he told me the ball
entered the mans body exactly four
teen inches "below the occipital pro-
tuberance of the occipital bone"
learned later that the occipital bone
was at the back of the head. However,
/ wrote up the item, and got in the
occipital business in great shape, and
1 felt proud that / could write such
big words. The occipital protuber-
ance became a by-word around
town, and few days later q young
fellow was kicked out of a saloon foI
being too drunk or something, and
he had the saloon-keeper arrested.
The case came up before Judge Har-
vey Hubbard, and the courtroom
was crowded. Harvey looked at the
young fellow and asked: "Where did
the saloon keeper kick your" The
fellow placed his hand around to his
pistol pocket and drawled out, HE
kicked me exactly fourteen inches
below the occipital protuberance oi
the occipital bone," and the crowd
laughed until the Judge got mad and
called for order-Peck's Sun.

The Northern Pacifie's Grant.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-The secre.
tary of the interior to day reversed
the decision of the commissioner of
the general land Office of February,
1856, in the case of Donald McRea
VS.. the Northern Pacific. The ques.
tion at issue is whether the Northern
Pacific has a grant of lands from
Portland. Oregon, to Puget sound,
Washington territory, a distance
of about forty miles. The commits
sioner found that the company had
no grant. This decision OF the secre-
tary reverses that and finds that the
joint resolution of congress, approved
May 81, 1870. makes a grant of land
between said points.

What Am / to Do?

The symptoms of Biliousness are
unhappily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. To frequently, alas
he has an excellent appetite for IL
guilds but none for solids of morn
ing. His tongue will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if it is not white
and furred, it is rough at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
OF order and Diarrhea or Constipation
may be a symptom or the two may al.
ternate. There are often Hemor.
rhoids or even loss of blood. There
may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or flatulence and tender.
ness in the pit Of the stomach. To
correct all this, if not effect cure
try Green's August Flo,cer; it costs
but a trifie, and thousands attest Its
efficacy.

How New York Broker Stole Wife

/ heard of q very peculiar marriage
that took place in the auditorium in
Ocean Grove that sounds almost like
romance. A young New York bro
ker fell in love with a country girl
while summering there, but the
mother, who seems to have been a
sort of she-dragon, objected to the
suit. She had possibly had some ex
perience in her own life, for she
ayerred that "all New York men were
loafers," and could not let the bad
broker near her eve lamb. The old
lady was very religious, and took her
daughter to the auditorium one Sun
day to hear DIR. Deems preach
What was her Indignation, when, in
the midst of hymn, the young bro
ker entered with q friend, and took
up their seats on either side
of the young lady, never needing
the mothers frown. AS the service
proceeded she noticed that her
daughter and the two men were talk
ing a great deal together during the
prayers, and her indignation knew
no bounds; but she did not want to
make fuss during the prayer.
When the services were over she
turned to her daughter with a snarl
and said:
"You just wait till 1 get you home,
miss"
"But she is not going home" said
the young brsker."
"Not going homer" gasped the
mother.
"Not to your home, anyway. This
lady is my wife. My friend is min
lister, and during the services he has
married us. Good day"
